jeedomdaemon

What it is and what it does

jeedomdaemon is a Python framework for building daemon processes that run as part of Jeedom home automation plugins. It abstracts away the boilerplate of socket setup, message parsing, API key validation, and lifecycle management, letting you focus on your plugin's business logic. The library provides a BaseDaemon class that you subclass and override with async callbacks for startup, message handling, and shutdown.

The framework handles TCP socket communication with the Jeedom PHP core, accepts standard command-line arguments for configuration (port, API key, log level, callback URL), and manages the event loop. It depends on aiohttp for async HTTP operations and is designed for Python 3.9+. The minimal entry point is four lines of code; more complex daemons add custom configuration classes and async handler methods.

Use it for:

• Build a Jeedom plugin daemon that polls a remote API and sends status updates back to Jeedom on a configurable cycle.
• Create a daemon that listens for commands from Jeedom and controls smart home devices via a third-party protocol or SDK.
• Implement a daemon that manages long-lived connections (e.g., WebSocket, MQTT) and bridges them to Jeedom's message interface.
• Develop a plugin daemon with custom startup logic (authentication, resource initialization) and graceful shutdown (cleanup, connection closure).

Worth the install?

AI-flagged interpretation of the facts on this page — verify before relying

Provides a base class and framework for building async daemon processes that integrate with Jeedom home automation plugins, handling socket communication, message routing, and lifecycle callbacks with minimal boilerplate.

Yes. If you are building a Jeedom plugin in Python, this framework eliminates significant boilerplate and is actively maintained with no known vulnerabilities. The single dependency (aiohttp) is well-established. Install it if you need to write a daemon; skip it if you are not targeting Jeedom.

Install

jeedomdaemon on PyPI

pip install jeedomdaemon

uv add jeedomdaemon

poetry add jeedomdaemon

Installing jeedomdaemon

Before you install

Low friction: pure Python wheel with a single runtime dependency (aiohttp). Actively maintained with recent releases; last commit 2026-08-02 and latest release 2025-03-14. Requires Python 3.9+.

License in practice

MIT license (permissive); no restrictions on commercial or private use, modification, or redistribution as long as the license notice is retained.

Quickstart

pip install jeedomdaemon

from jeedomdaemon.base_daemon import BaseDaemon

class MyDaemon(BaseDaemon):
    pass

MyDaemon().run()

Requires Python 3.9 or later.

Verify before relying

• Whether the framework handles concurrent message processing or serializes requests sequentially.
• What happens if aiohttp is unavailable or incompatible with the installed version.
• Whether the daemon can run on Windows or is Linux/Unix-only.
• Performance characteristics under high message throughput or with many concurrent tasks.
